Creatures of Aether is a new dungeon crawling card combat game set in the Aether universe, where you collect creatures and use them in tactical 1v1 battles. Set in the same world as the pixel art platform fighting game Rivals of Aether, in Creatures of Aether you let your cards do the fighting rather than your fists. It’s currently in development by the Rivals of Aether team and Tako Boy Studios (creators of Candies ‘n Curses) and sees you battling your way through dungeons and collecting creatures in card form. Creatures all have their unique stats and Rival cards have powerful unique abilities.
